Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reconstructing the Head and Neck region presents some of the most complex challenges in surgery, requiring not just technical precision but also creativity, collaboration, and innovation. In recent years, we’ve seen incredible progress thanks to advancements in areas like 3D printing, virtual surgical planning, augmented/mixed reality, artificial intelligence, tissue engineering, and biomaterials. Yet, while the tools at our disposal are more advanced than ever, the challenge remains: how do we translate innovation into better outcomes for our patients?
This Special Issue aims to bring together fresh insights, groundbreaking research, and real-world clinical experiences that are shaping the future of oral and cranio-maxillofacial reconstruction. We welcome contributions that explore novel surgical approaches, digital tools, regenerative techniques, and interdisciplinary strategies that improve both function and aesthetics for patients. Whether you're working at the bench or the bedside, we hope this collection will serve as a platform for sharing ideas that push the boundaries of what's possible in this evolving field.
